2. Q: What is the dishwasher?

A: The dishwasher is a device that automatically cleans dishes, bowls, plates, forks, knives, and other tableware. Household dishwashers come in built-in, countertop, and sink styles, and they primarily use spray rinsing for cleaning. Using a dishwasher significantly reduces the tedious labor of hand washing. The high-temperature spray not only removes food residues and grease but also kills common viruses and bacteria, such as Escherichia coli. In terms of water consumption, mainstream dishwashers generally use less than 10 liters of water, which is only about a quarter of what is used for hand washing, making them more water-efficient. The drying function of dishwashers effectively addresses the issue of dishes not drying easily when washed by hand. Regarding washing capacity, mainstream dishwashers are available in various capacities, such as 5 sets, 8 sets, and 15 sets, to meet daily household needs. As living standards continue to rise, dishwashers have gradually become essential kitchen appliances in homes.
 

3. Q: What are the differences among countertop, built-in, and sink dishwashers?

A: Household dishwashers are generally classified into three types: built-in, countertop, and sink models.
The differences among countertop, built-in, and sink dishwashers are as follows:
1. Countertop dishwashers have a capacity of 4 sets to 5 sets, are easy to install, and do not require cabinet modifications. They are suitable for renovated homes and families of five or fewer, allowing for one wash per meal, which is more hygienic;
2. Sink dishwashers also have a smaller capacity, usually around 4 sets. They occupy both countertop and under-sink space;
3. Built-in dishwashers are the mainstream product, offering larger capacities, generally accommodating more than 8 sets.
 

4. Q: What does the set capacity mean in the Xiaomi Tabletop Dishwasher?

A: The capacity of the dishwasher is determined by the number of sets of tableware it can hold. The more sets it can accommodate, the larger the capacity. If dishwashers have 5 sets or 8 sets, it means that the maximum number of sets that can be loaded. The choice of how many sets a dishwasher should have depends on the number of people in the household and the quantity of tableware. A 5-set dishwasher is suitable for families of up to 5 people.
The Xiaomi Tabletop Dishwasher can wash 5 rice bowls, 3 noodle bowls, 3 glasses, 2 mugs, 10 chopsticks, 5 spoons, 2 deep plates, 4 shallow plates, 3 condiment dishes, 1 rice paddle, and 1 soup ladle in one cycle.
The image below shows a reference for the tableware:


 

5. Q: How does the Xiaomi Tabletop Dishwasher clean the tableware?

A: 1. Water intake phase: First, water passes through a softener containing resin to remove calcium and magnesium ions;
2. Washing phase: High-pressure water sprays clean the surface of the tableware, while high-temperature water expands and softens food residues. Dishwashing powder is used to enhance the cleaning effect, with the maximum wash water temperature reaching 75°C to ensure thorough cleanliness;
3. Rinsing and drying phase: The residual heat accelerates the drying of the dishes;
4. Sterilization and disinfection phase: The 75°C high-temperature wash, combined with 80°C hot air, effectively disinfects and eliminates bacteria. Additionally, the UV dry storage feature ensures the hygiene and cleanliness of the tableware, protecting family health.
Note:
It is normal for the Xiaomi Tabletop Dishwasher to drain water before starting its cycle.
 

6. Q: What type of drying method does the Xiaomi Tabletop Dishwasher use?

A: The Xiaomi Tabletop Dishwasher uses hot air drying (3.0), utilizing PTC heating for better drying results.
Dishwashers go through several drying stages:
1. 1.0 Condensation residual heat drying: This method uses residual heat after washing to dry the dishes. However, it can lead to difficulties in expelling water vapor and condensation issues when temperatures drop. Currently, this type of dishwasher is largely unavailable on the market;
2. 2.0 Cold air ventilation drying: Some dishwashers are equipped with fans that expel water vapor. However, this method is less efficient and can not thoroughly dry the dishes. This approach is found in some entry-level dishwashers and countertop models;
3. 3.0 Hot air drying: This method uses electric heating wires (with higher-end models employing PTC technology) combined with fans to dry dishes using hot air, resulting in a higher level of dryness.
Note:
PTC stands for Positive Temperature Coefficient, referring to a type of ceramic heating element.
 

7. Q: What are soft water and hard water and what effects do they have on tableware?

A: Soft water refers to water that contains little or no soluble calcium or magnesium compounds. Soft water does not easily produce scale, and using it to wash dishes can enhance the cleaning efficiency of detergents, leaving the tableware looking as good as new.
Hard water, contains a higher concentration of soluble calcium and magnesium compounds. While hard water does not pose direct health risks, it can lead to scale buildup in water appliances and reduce the cleaning efficiency of soaps and detergents. Over time, washing dishes with hard water can cause scale deposits on the surface of the tableware, affecting both its appearance and cleanliness.
 

8. Q: What is the function of the water softener in the Xiaomi Tabletop Dishwasher?

A: The water softener in the Xiaomi Tabletop Dishwasher uses resin to adsorb calcium and magnesium ions from the water, reducing its hardness to some extent. This not only helps keep the tableware shiny and new but also protects the dishwasher's interior, spray arms, and plumbing from scale buildup. Additionally, dishwashers equipped with a water softener can reduce the need for detergents, making them both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
 

9. Q: What is dishwasher salt?

A: Dishwasher salt, also known as ion exchange resin regenerating agent, mainly consists of sodium chloride and is in the form of pellets. As the volume of water processed increases, the resin becomes saturated with impurities, gradually losing its adsorption capacity and reaching a state of reduced effectiveness. To eliminate the impurities absorbed by the resin, sodium ions (the sodium component in dishwasher salt) are used during a backwash process to exchange and replace the impurities, thereby restoring the adsorption capacity of the ion exchange resin. Therefore, dishwasher salt must be used in conjunction with the water softener.
Note:
Adding dishwasher salt allows the water softener to be reused for softening water and improves cleaning performance.
 

10. Q: Why should dishwasher salt be added to the Xiaomi Tabletop Dishwasher?

A: In some regions, tap water has a high hardness level. Prolonged use of hard water can lead to scale buildup inside the Xiaomi Tabletop Dishwasher and diminish its cleaning effectiveness. Therefore, dishwashers are equipped with water softeners that reduce the hardness of the tap water and decrease the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions, effectively preventing scale formation. The function of dishwasher salt is to regenerate the resin in the water softener, ensuring it continues to operate efficiently.
 

11. Q: Can edible salt be used as a substitute for dishwasher salt?

A: Dishwasher salt must be specifically designed for dishwashers. Regular edible salt should not be used. This is because edible salt contains iodine and other substances that can cause irreversible damage to the regeneration performance of the water softener.
 

12. Q: What are dishwasher powder and dishwasher blocks for the Xiaomi Tabletop Dishwasher?

A: Dishwasher powder and dishwasher blocks (which can be compared to laundry detergent and laundry liquid) are used to soften residues on tableware, remove grease, and enhance cleaning effectiveness. The Xiaomi Tabletop Dishwasher can utilize commercially available dishwasher powder or blocks that are specifically designed for dishwashers. It is strictly prohibited to use dishwashing liquid, as the excessive foam produced can overflow and damage the device.

9. Q: How to place the tableware in the Xiaomi Tabletop Dishwasher?

A: To place the tableware in the Xiaomi Tabletop Dishwasher, please refer to the following steps:
1. Before placing tableware in the dish rack, clean off the larger food residues so as not to affect the washing performance. The dishwasher sprays water from the bottom up. Place the bowls
and cups with a downward tilt, which ensures the water flow can
fully rinse the tableware and helps prevent water from remaining
in the tableware. Do not place bowls, cups, plates, or other tableware upright, upside down, or in an overlapped manner. Otherwise, water is accumulated, which is not conducive to cleaning or drying. After placing tableware in the dish rack, turn the spray arms to ensure that they do not touch any tableware;

2. Place the tableware in the upper dish rack. The upper rack can be used to place small-sized tableware, such as chopsticks, rice paddles, and rice bowls. Keep the openings of the tableware tilted downwards. When placing the tableware, ensure the tableware and the upper spray arm do not touch so that the arm can turn without obstruction;

3. Place the tableware in the lower dish rack. The lower rack is mainly for placing tableware like deep plates, shallow plates, noodle bowls, mugs, and condiment dishes. Keep the openings of the tableware tilted downwards. Turn the lower spray arm to ensure it does not touch the tableware;

4. For tableware made of gold, silver, or aluminum, the surface smoothness will decrease after repeated washing. For tableware fading easily like antique tableware, glass products, and general plastic, washing in the dishwasher can lead to poor surface color and texture. It is recommended not to frequently wash them in the dishwasher. For tableware that is easy to mold, such as wooden and bamboo tableware, should be taken out in time after washing.
Note:
1. The dishwasher is not suitable for washing larger items such as pots and lids, which can lead to poor washing results. Never put tableware or cookware with Teflon coatings in the dishwasher;
2. For hard-to-clean items such as baking pans, tea cups that have been in use for years, and tableware that has been left overnight, use the Intensive mode two or more times in a row, depending on the cleaning difficulty. If the tableware is still not clean after intensive washing, use other cleaning tools to remove the stains;
3. After washing, the plastic inner tub and the upper dish rack cannot be completely dried, and a small amount of residual water can be under the filter assembly, which is normal.
